New LCD Soundsystem Song Written for Action Flick

Hey James Murphy! You've made Pitchfork's favorite song of the year and second favorite album of the year! What are you going to do next? Go to Disney World?

Close. He's going to Hollywood.

Yup, the newest piece of post-Sound of Silver music we're going to hear from LCD Soundsystem will be the song "Big Ideas", which will appear on the soundtrack to the new movie 21. The soundtrack will be released by Columbia Records on March 18.

According to a press release, "Big Ideas" is "a brand new track composed and recorded for 21." (Hello, 2009 Oscars!) Apparently it's an action flick about M.I.T. students who run a big scam on Vegas casinos or something. It stars Kate Bosworth, Jim Sturgess (the guy from the Beatles movie musical nobody over the age of 16 saw), Laurence Fishburne, and poor, poor Kevin Spacey.

It's in theaters March 20, though it will premiere at the SXSW film fest on March 7. There will also be a soundtrack celebration party on March 13, during the music portion of SXSW.

Other artists on the 21 soundtrack include Broadcast, Rihanna, UNKLE, Mark Ronson and Kasabian, producer David Sardy (Walkmen, Marilyn Manson) with Duke Spirit singer Liela Moss, and Amon Tobin. There's also a Soulwax remix of the Rolling Stones and Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks", a song that has yet to appear on any soundtracks to any kind of moving pictures.
